Procedure: Import a Trust Point

 

Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012

Use the following procedures to import a trust point for a zone that has been signed with DNSSEC. To import a trust point, the DSSET or KEYSET records for a zone must be available in a file. You can create this file manually, or export it from the Key Master.

When you sign a zone on a DNS server running Windows Server 2008 R2 or later, the DNSKEY RRSET (also called the Keyset) and the DS RRSET (also called the dsset) are stored in text files on the Key Master for use as trust points. By default these files are available in the %windir%\system32\dns directory. To import a trust point on a DNS server, these files must be made accessible to the DNS server. For more information, see Procedure: Export a Trust Point.

For more information about trust points, see Trust Anchors.

Procedures are provided using the DNS Manager console and Windows PowerShell. When you have completed the procedures in this topic, return to the parent checklist.

Choose DNS Manager or Windows PowerShell to perform this procedure:

Import a trust point using DNS Manager

Membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete these procedures. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).

To import a trust point using DNS Manager

  1. Open DNS Manager on the server where you wish to import the trust point, or connect to the DNS server from another location using DNS Manager.

  2. In the console tree, right-click Trust Points, point to Import, and then click DNSKEY or click DS.

    If the trust point that you have made available is a KEYSET, then point to DNSKEY. If the trust point that is available is a DSSET, point to DS.

  3. Click Browse or type the location of the KEYSET or DSSET file, and then click OK.

If a trust point for the zone did not previously exist, a new folder will be created in the DNS Manager console tree under Trust Points. If the trust point for this zone had previously been imported or added to the DNS server, the trust point will be updated.

Import a trust point using Windows PowerShell

Membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete these procedures. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).

To use the Windows PowerShell examples that are provided, replace server and zone names with the names you will use in your environment.

To import a trust point using Windows PowerShell

  1. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on the server where you wish to import the trust point.

  2. To import a trust point, use the Import-DnsServerTrustAnchor cmdlet. See the following example.

    PS C:\> Import-DnsServerTrustAnchor -KeySetFile "\\File1\DNSKeys\keyset-secure.contoso.com"
    

    In this example, a DNSKEY trust anchor for the zone secure.contoso.com is imported on the local DNS server. To import a DS trust anchor, use the DSSetFile parameter in place of KeySetFile and specify a filename of dsset-secure.contoso.com.

To verify that the trust point was successfully imported, you can use the Get-DnsServerTrustAnchor cmdlet. See the following example:

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerTrustAnchor -Name secure.contoso.com

TrustAnchorName                TrustAnchorType      TrustAnchorState     TrustAnchorData
---------------                ---------------      ----------------     ---------------
secure.contoso.com.            DNSKEY               Valid                [8000][DnsSec][RsaSha256][AwEAAY/kENeHkSmtd...
secure.contoso.com.            DNSKEY               Valid                [62111][DnsSec][RsaSha256][AwEAAbMK6im/lrLB...
